Infinity Blade 2 Starting to Hit the App Store, Here’s What People Are Saying

Oliver Haslam ∙ Updated January 27, 2019

Infinity Blade was one of the first real games to hit iOS. Yes, Angry Birds and Flight Control had come before, but those type of games could never be called an epic adventure full of swords and things to swing said swords at.

When the Infinity Blade creators, Epic, originally showed the game off on an iPhone 4, it looked gorgeous. The sequel goes one or two steps further, and if you're playing the game on an iPhone 4S or iPad 2 then you're in for a real treat.

Some lucky folks have been playing Infinity Blade 2 for a while now, and they've gone and shared their opinions with us, the people of the internet. Here's a quick roundup of what people are saying...

In Case You Were Wondering What iPad Case Obama Uses…

Alex Heath ∙ November 30, 2011

As the president of the United States, Barack Obama is a man that needs a good iPad case. We already know that Obama got his iPad early from Steve Jobs himself, and that America's boss is a fan of Apple.

In a recent photo on the official White House Flickr account, Obama is seen making a call to thank his troops on Thanksgiving. What looks like a book at first glance sitting there on the Oval Office desk is actually an iPad.

New Best Buy TV Ad Touts iPad and Other Apple Products

Cody Lee ∙ November 29, 2011

Judging by recent events, Apple's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch may be more popular than ever before. Not only did it record its biggest sales day ever during Black Friday last week, but it was also among the top 5 most visited retail chains.

In fact, you don't have to look any further than Best Buy's recent holiday commercial to gauge the level of the company's popularity. The retailer has been an authorized Apple dealer for years, and it wants to make sure everyone knows that this holiday season...

Kindle Fire Becomes One of Best Buy’s Top Selling Tablets… But Wait…

Sébastien Page ∙ Updated October 16, 2017

TechCrunch is reporting that the Kindle Fire is becoming Best Buy's best -selling tablet.

Amazon’s first foray into the tablet world seems to be a runaway success. The Fire has occupied the top spot on Amazon’s best sellers list for weeks even prior to the device shipping. Now, at Best Buy, the $199 Fire sits higher the 16GB iPad as the top selling device in the hot category. Yep, it’s safe to say that Amazon is well on its way to officially winning the Android tablet wars.

So yes, if you look at it, the Kindle Fire holds the #1 spot. The reality is that there is only one Kindle Fire and there are 12 different iPad 2 models. Mind you, out of the 10 best selling tablets at Best Buy, 5 of them are iPads. At any rate, it's good news for Amazon.

Microsoft Office Coming to the iPad Soon

Sébastien Page ∙ November 29, 2011

The Daily reports that Microsoft is working on an iPad version of their popular Office software suite.

Microsoft is planning a version of its Office business app for the iPad, The Daily has learned.

According to sources, the tech giant is actively working on adapting its popular software suite for Apple’s tablet. With the iPad making up over 80 percent of the tablet market and millions of people worldwide using Office, that could mean big bucks for the tech giant based in Redmond, Wash.

It's unclear when Office for iOS will be released, but it should be sometime next year.

Alex Heath ∙ Updated January 24, 2016

Edovia has announced the next major version of its popular remote iOS app, TouchPad. We've told you about TouchPad before, and this newest update brings many more features to what was already one of the best remote keyboard and trackpad apps in the App Store.

TouchPad lets you control your Mac from your iPhone and iPad. This 4.0 update brings with it the ability to use Siri on the iPhone 4S to interact with and send text to your Mac over a Wi-Fi network.

Get Haptic Feedback on the iPad with the TouchFire Keyboard

Oliver Haslam ∙ Updated April 3, 2018

Those with good memories, or at least those that can remember back to January of 2010, will probably remember the intense debate that raged around the original iPad. While many decided that it was purely a content consumption device, others argued that the on-screen keyboard's generous size would make it a device that could be used to create content, too.

Fast forward to today, halfway through the iPad 2's life cycle, and we're not really any wiser as to how useful the iPad is as a content creation device. Most of our misgivings come down to that software keyboard and its inability to offer any long term writing usefulness.

Part of the problem is the complete lack of haptic feedback, and as if by magic, one Kickstarter project is aiming to put that problem right.

iOS 5.1 Outs New iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV Models

Cody Lee ∙ November 29, 2011

Earlier today, Apple released the iOS 5.1 beta. As usual, hackers got right to work dissecting the software to see if there were any secrets hidden within its source code. Previous code-digging has uncovered features, like FaceTime over 3G.

This time around, hackers seem to have stumbled on more than just unreleased features. 9to5Mac is reporting that the new iOS 5.1 beta contains information regarding multiple new Apple products, including the iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV...

WSJ Confirms Apple Has Tapped Sharp for iPad 3 Displays

Cody Lee ∙ November 26, 2011

According to The Wall Street Journal, Apple has tapped Sharp as a display supplier for its next generation tablet. We've heard the news before from analysts and their "supply checks," but this obviously lends some credibility to the story.

WSJ believes the move is in an effort, by Apple, to diversify component suppliers for its products. And given the company's ongoing court battle with another display supplier (Samsung), it makes sense that it would want to do so...

Best Buy Completely Sells Out of iPad 2 Stock, Still Plenty of Android Tablets Left

Oliver Haslam ∙ Updated October 16, 2017

With Black Friday finally over and the madness it creates beginning to dissipate, stores and online retailers are now taking stock and more importantly, counting the cash.

If Best Buy's online store is anything to go by, Apple's iPad has been the big seller this year, with all of the iPad 2 stock now unavailable to order due to high demand. Best Buy did offer a near $50 off discount on the iPad 2 yesterday.

But it's OK, Best Buy still has plenty of of Galaxy Tabs available for purchase...
